#com200 Titus' communicator characteristics establish a wide range of expectation for what he says and does. He is extremely extroverted, so his dramatic outbursts do not necessarily violate Lilian or Kimmy's expectations

[Megan Rose @mrose800]

#com200 Titus' expectations for a roommate are based on past experiences and he has expectations of how Kimmy will act based on her demographics and where she is from. However, she doesn't meet his expectations because she hasn't been part of the real world for many years.

#com200 Titus violates Kimmy's expectations when he yells at her to get a job. She has an ambiguous violation valence because she wants to live there, but is offended. After entering into CRV, she decides to try and get a job because she needs a place to live.

#com200 Kimmy violates the group's expectations by deciding to leave them. They expect her to stay with the group due to their extreme bond of familiarity, but she wants to go off on her own.

#com200 The sudden appearance of the SWAT team violates the four girls' expectations of their normal everyday routine. At first, they have a negative violation valence, but decide that they should go with them.

#com200 Phil wants and iPad for his birthday for entertainment, which is one of the 8 motivations for media consumption.

[Megan Rose @mrose800]

#com200 Cam continues listening to the baby monitor for excitement, which is one of Rubin's 8 Types of Motivation for media consumption.

[Megan Rose @mrose800]

#com200 Phil is upset when he doesn't get an iPad for his birthday. He is already so invested in the technology even before he has the technology and abandons logic when he doesn't have access to it.

[Megan Rose @mrose800]

#com200 according to media ecology, the medium is the message. Cam is invested in the neighbor's drama just because he is hearing it through the baby monitor; he is unaware of how he is receiving these messages (complexity), but he is still invested.

#com200 This episode depicts the extreme individualization of the digital age. They center their interactions in person & online simply for personal gain not to connect people around them, which emphasizes McLuhan's claim that the digital age is moving us back into smaller tribes

[Megan Rose @mrose800]

#com200 The people in this episode are so reliant on social media that they look at it while they're having a conversation just to know what to talk about to each other. This shows the invisibility of technology because they are unaware of how inadequate they are without it.

[Megan Rose @mrose800]

#com200 The men who convicted Dreyfus used minimal justification to reduce their cognitive dissonance when Piquart suggested they had convicted the wrong man. They came up with elaborate stories or simply trivialized the facts in order to ease their inner conflict.

[Megan Rose @mrose800]

#com200 Daly uses the stories lived in his everyday life at the company to create the larger imaginary story in his virtual world of the USS Callister. Events that take place at work influence what happens in his fantasy, although he picks and chooses which stories to include.

[Megan Rose @mrose800]

#com200 Daly automatically responds to Walton's commands to get the Infinity update running. He processes these thru the peripheral route of persuasion based on Walton's authority over him. Walton also suggests that Daly himself should use an authoritative method of persuasion.

[Megan Rose @mrose800]

#com200 Going into the gas cloud is immediately in Walton's latitude of rejection and he disagrees with the captain. He does not want to put himself in danger and so that option does not fall into his latitude of acceptance.

#com200 i think that the most effective form of subversion was the group of women singing together (2nd to last) bc it didnt overuse humor that distracted from the message & it called out a lot of important issues while still using an acceptable mainstream platform.

[Megan Rose @mrose800]

#com200 yes i think the fact that a male singer is bringing attention to these issues is really powerful. in a genre that usually does not focus on empowering women, this is effective in sparking interest in the subject

[Megan Rose @mrose800]

#com200 yes this is an effective form of subversion. it uses the acceptable mainstream platform of music while using the ironic chorus of “it’s a scary time to be a boy”. i think it did a good job of seriously bringing up a lot of issues for women.

[Megan Rose @mrose800]

#com200 no this is not an effective form of subversion. although it uses acceptable mainstream and is really funny, i think it makes the issues theyre talking about more a joke. i dont think serious conversations would result from this.

[Megan Rose @mrose800]

#com200 Yes this is an effective form of subversion. It uses a popular genre of music (rap) that is usually quite demeaning to women to point out the double entendre of the word “bitch” in modern culture and how it is harmful to the understanding between men and women
